Reviews of Fraser Valley School, Clayton Campus (School)

Serena Gaspranov

FVS is exceptional :) The teachers and staff are caring, talented and committed to learning and the children and they genuinely love what they do. The school has an entrepreneurial vibe as it continues to grow and expand its offering. The Leadership Team is remarkable and nimble. Children learn to be curious and make amazing connections through the IB program. There is strong community spirit and a the driving value of being known and cared for is felt by kids and parents. Children's natural gifts are able to shine and their abilities academically and socially flourish. Forever and always grateful for FVS.

The teachers are like Angels!! They take so much care and provide personal response, even the Principal provides regular updates and quite appprochable!! I can't thank the teachers enough for their personal time to provide daily detailed updates and online sessions for parents to help us with teaching strategies for our kids. We feel blessed to be able to send our child to this School. They use of technology to keep us all connected and kids learning!! again can't believe our good fortune enough to be able to send our son to school here. He loves it wants to go every day, and has developed a love for reading and mental activity along with sports. I wanted to post this review as a big thank you to all the staff at this school and it's board of directors.

This school is our second home. Not only do the school, teachers, principal, and support staff offer an incredible supportive environment in which to learn but the same facility and staff uniquely embrace and support every family through the various peaks and valleys that befall us all and affect our children. I'm a very happy parent of two students at FVES!

A school filed with fantastic, friendly, caring students and teachers. All this along with an amazing head of school who cares for each and everyone of the students and parents. So proud my child goes to this school!

This institution is a fraud; their website indicates that they currently have openings for September 2021. I know of multiple families that have gone through the application process who have been told that their children are on a “waitlist”. They have not been contacted and now this institution is attempting to have more families fall into their trap. This is a scam; they are attempting to gouge anybody they possibly can. Don’t waste your time and money. Stay clear of this “school” as I definitely wouldn’t want my children to be placed second to financial gains. They clearly do not any child’s best interest at heart. They are undoubtedly in it for the money!

An amazing learning environment is fostered here! My children's learning has benefitted with the inquiry based teaching philosophy utilized at FVES.

Beware new applicants, there are numerous concerns with this institution. I had the unfortunate experience when completing FVSs application process. This institution has a bias when selecting students for enrollment. They are unable to explain what criteria is utilized in order to determine successful candidates. I have challenged their leaders with no avail/response. They do not speak to parents with respect/dignity deserved. As per the “waitlist”…they stated that most of the spots are already reserved for the students who have siblings…. fair enough; however, shouldn’t the actual number of spots available be disclosed to the parents who apply considering they charge a $200 application fee per child? Definitely a cash grab! Do not waste your time/money. I would give a negative rating if possible. Response to owner: I initially reached out to question/clarify the process with respect to "mission aligned families" directly with the "Head of School" and "Board of Directors" with no response; interesting how a public platform is addressed vs my initial attempts. It is quite clear that any admission process is competitive however the question at hand is why are you taking on applications in such numbers that will not support admission. The reason we are stating that this is 'cash grab' is that you as an organization should be taking applicants and waitlist in a proportional number. You may be a 'not for profit' organization and using funds for operational costs but why are the applications fees included in this in the vast numbers that they are. If you have 32 spots then have an appropriate number to accept and choose from while being able to wait list a handful. You keep talking about waitlist and then those spots are usually filled with waitlisted families. You have spots for your school listed on your website now while mentioning that you had an overwhelming amount of applicants yet you couldn't fill those spots even with the "waitlisted" families? I know for a fact that I was not contacted along with many others who were "waitlisted". I am very familiar with Early Child Education and your institution was unable to provide a clear non-bias answer with respect to the selection process. There is clearly a huge discrepancy and gaps which you failed to address again. I suggest reverting back to my original email communications for details. I would appreciate a response to my email specifically.

My daughter is currently in Kindergarten and I can not explain how she has improved exponentially. Everyone at this school shows so much love and support that we feel like family here. Her teacher is kind and patient. My daughter looks forward to school everyday! All the staff is never seen without a smile and positive attitude. Even the Head of School is outside talking to the children as they leave... rain or shine. You truly feel a sense of community. They use an app called "Bloomz" it keeps you up to date with everything going on in the school. We are able to discuss her day over dinner thanks to these updates. She loves talking about all the projects and things she has learned. Their lunch program is amazing. My daughter is a picky eater but she always polishes off everything from their hot meal program. The staff at this school truly care and want nothing but for your child to thrive.
